Omar to take up issue of ceasefire volition by Pak with Centre

Abdullah said,"people of the border areas have to bear the brunt of violation of ceasefire."

"I would urge the central leadership to take up the issue of violation of ceasefire with Pakistan to ensure peace and tranquillity along the Line of Control and at borders," Omar said in Rajouri.

He addressed public rallies in Hanjana-Nowshera in Rajouri district and Mera Mandarian in Akhnoor belt of Jammu district today.

The chief minister said people living in border areas have to bear the brunt of violation of ceasefire and their life, property, agriculture and economic activities get severely hampered by such incidents.

There have been seven to eight ceasefire violations along Indo-Pak border in Poonch and Samba sectors of Jammu and Kashmir this month alone.

The chief minister said he has always batted for good Indo-Pak relations and resolution of issues between the two neighbours through peaceful dialogue process and will continue to work in this direction.

"My efforts in this direction would continue," he said.

Omar said the governments of India and Pakistan should sit down and sort out issues amicably.
